Is there anyway to gain temp root to flash a file through flash fire, then unroot or just install twrp without root?
Need more info. What build are you on?

Now that we have root without tripping Knox thanks to ping-pong root I'd like to get to flashing custom zips..... Specifically the xposed framework.
Does anybody know if we can just use flashify to flash stuff without having to install a custom recovery which would trip Knox? I sure as hell hope so, i'm itching to get back to the Custom fun.

well flashify has been sucessfully been used to install recovery without tripping knox on note 3 so we can hope for it
So there's no way to flash twrp without root? Flashify doesn't because its a tar file
Flashfire can flash twrp tar file.
@bhavstech in my opinion flashing custom recovery always trip knox.

I got a galaxy note 8. i rooted using chainfire auto root. then used flashify to flash twrp. now my question is i heard you need to unlock bootloader before flashing a rom. how do i know if mine is locked or not. i have the GT-N5110 model if that helps.
also i cyanogenmod as safe as googles stock rom. and where do i get the Gapps.zip thx.
If the TWRP that you flashed with Flashify is working, probably your bootloader is unlocked.
Flash it directly after installing twrp and root.

All I want is root access but don't care for custom recovery is that possible ?

Of course. There are rooted kernels you can flash in Odin, then download a superuser app from the play store.
But... You'll still trip knox, so why not have the added benefit of a custom recovery?
If you're gonna root, twrp or philztouch is absolutely necessary. It's stupid not to.
Hello,
I'd like to root my Galaxy s7 G930F, and have two questions:
1. What is the simplest way to root? CF-auto-root or installing a ROM that has root included?
2. If I root using cf-auto-root will I still get samsung firmware updates automatically when they are released? If I install a custom rom i guess not, so that's why I'm asking.

You need to root before you can install a different rom. Also see if it the rom works on your phone.

I rooted my Nexus 6P when I purchased however a few months ago, something happened which kind of messed up my root. I can't remember now exactly what it was (maybe I updated OTA) however when I run Root checker, I get the message "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device". Also Titanium Backup complains about my device not being properly rooted.
The strange thing is, my banking apps complain that my device is rooted and don't give me the full functionality
Also, my phone always downloads monthly updates, but I haven't been able to install since around June. It has now downloaded Android 7.1.1 and after trying to install this morning, it just booted into TWRP.
I'm after 2 things..
to have a properly rooted phone again
to have Android 7.1.1 installed
What's the best way for me to achieve this? What's actually happened to my phone? I would like to achieve the above 2 things with zero data loss if possible

If you are talking about stock OTA updates, that doesn't work on rooted devices.
To do stock OTA updates you need to remove root, you need stock recovery instead of custom recovery and you need to have an unmodified system partition.
Flash your stock firmware then update then root again after all updates are installed.

Ok thanks for the reply...
So if I don't want to do the stock update, then how do i fix my root first of all?
After I fix my root - Can i perform an update to 7.1.1 via a non-stock method? ie. download the update somehow and flash via ADB or install via TWRP?

As I said, flash your original stock firmware, then apply any stock updates that you want and THEN root. The 7.1.1 OTA is a stock update.
YOU CAN'T APPLY STOCK UPDATES WHILE YOU ARE ROOTED AND YOU CAN'T DO STOCK UPDATES IN CUSTOM RECOVERY.
Or you can flash stock firmware to fix the device, then install root and custom recovery again and then if you want to flash a CUSTOM 7.1.1 you flash it in recovery but you can't apply the stock 7.1.1.

Thanks... And in both cases, i shouldn't lose my data because my bootloader is unlocked already from when i originally rooted... Is that correct?

I'm not sure about that. Flashing something that upgrades or downgrades bootloader usually wipes data.
